Manufacturer Elsat / Vector, Poland | Date 1996 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface parallel port |
- Teletext Decoder
- special variant of the FG24 digitizer - digitizes only the last 50 lines of each TV frame which contain the Teletext information, thus speeding up the process
- captures up to 300 Teletext pages per minute
- in case of TV stations with a lot of changing pages, this leads to extended loading times as pages are captured multiple times
- download is done for all pages, allowing fast navigation after loading
- saves Teletext pages as ASCII text, image (IFF/ILBM) or in the custom format FG24TVTXT - both text and custom format include all captured pages, allowing post-processing in other applications
- supports terrestrial and satellite TV signals
- strong TV signals are not handled well, this leads to empty pages - recapturing solves this partially
- supports teletext subpages
- compatible with PAL and SECAM, but not with NTSC
- Composite video input connector
- video signal indication LED
- ARexx interface
- external power supply
